Last week, we mentioned Jimi Hendrix’s face lighting up on a dark stage – did you catch that? We were hoping to pique your interest, to make you say, “How on earth would Jimi Hendrix’s face light up and not the rest of the stage?” Well, it’s been a trade secret for a decade. But brace yourselves, because I’m about to reveal the secret to you, here, and now: Fairy dust

Had you going there, huh? Actually, it’s painted with special paint that glows iridescently under blacklight (and yes this is when you should have flashbacks to those velvet blacklight posters of the 60’s).
That’s right, after seeing a celebrity icon speed painted – 7 feet tall – in the time it takes for a normal person to gather their brushes and paints, one would think that would be enough, but not for Speed Painter Michael Ostaski, or The 3 Painters: they get the urge to bring fast painting to the next level, a rotating screen, loud and powerful music, and a canvas that electrifies to neon life under the glow of ultraviolet light; all come together in yet another amazingly unique speed painting experience.

Check out some of the ways they’ve been making it happen with blacklight!
